If you have long hair then you know the frustration of wanting to both wear a hat and put your hair in a ponytail. That’s where a ponytail hat, also known as messy bun hats, save the day. I’ve shared a pattern for a crochet ponytail/messy bun hat that starts at the top and is worked down. Here is a knit ponytail hat that starts at the bottom and is knit towards the top.

Pattern Notes

Gauge: 4″x4″ square is 18 stitches and 24 rows
Yardage is about 120 yards

C6F – means to move 3 stitches to the cable needle, hold the work in front, knit 3 stitches, then knit the 3 stitches on the cable needle. This is a cable worked over a total of 6 stitches.

In addition to double pointed needles I also have a pair of short (8 inch) circular needles that I use to make hats. When I use the 8-inch circular needles, I do switch to the double pointed needles during the decreases.

One of my favorite parts about this hat is that it is inspired by a hat Hermione wears in Harry Potter. Hermione wears her cable and eyelet hat in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The hat Hermione wears is even a gray hat. However, rather than a ponytail hat, Hermione’s cable and eyelet hat is a traditional beanie.
